Pilar Graham’s poetry and creative nonfiction essays have been published in numerous literary journals. Her recent book, Currents, is a collection of poetry which is strangely brave—while it beautifully and consciously submerges into desire, vulnerability, and loss—in order to face survival. Pilar has served as a literary editor, and a judge, for various local and national writing competitions. Pilar teaches full time at CSU Monterey Bay.
